about

From the Ten Oxherding pictures -

The boy sees the footprints of the bull for the first time. He has stumbled upon evidence the bull – the subject or object of our spiritual search – actually exists.

He might have some sense of how he might find it. In this stage we may alternate between excitement and doubt, conviction and boredom. At times we feel very inspired and motivated, at other times we may forget about the ox or feel despair that we’ll ever find it.

It’s exciting to find the first ox footprints, but what if that’s all you see is footprints, year after year?

lyrics

Along the riverbank under the trees,
I see footprints.
Under fragrant grass, on mountain tops
I see footprints.
You can't hide them, they are in front of your face.
Footprints.
